Lukáš Csölley (born 18 June 1990) is a Slovak ice dancer who competes with Lucie Myslivečková. They are the 2016 Volvo Open Cup champions. With former partner Federica Testa, he won four ISU Challenger Series medals and three Slovak national titles. They finished in the top ten at the 2015 and 2016 European Championships.
Career
Csölley started learning to skate in 1995.[1] He competed in singles until the age of 16.[2]
Partnership with Višňová
In 2006, Csölley switched to ice dancing and teamed up with Nikola Višňová from the Czech Republic. They decided to represent Slovakia. In their first two seasons, they trained under Gabriela Hrázská in Brno, Bratislava, and Oberstdorf.[3][4] They finished 19th at the 2007 World Junior Championships in Oberstdorf and 17th at the 2008 World Junior Championships in Sofia.
In the 2008–09 season, Višňová/Csölley trained in Berlin, Oberstdorf, and Brno, coached by Hendryk Schamberger.[5] They placed 17th at the 2009 World Junior Championships in Sofia.
During the next two seasons, the two were coached by Roberto Pelizzola and Raffaella Cazzaniga in Milan.[6][7] They ranked 20th at the 2010 European Championships in Tallinn, Estonia; 19th at the 2010 World Junior Championships in The Hague, Netherlands; 22nd at the 2011 European Championships in Bern, Switzerland; and 5th at the 2011 World Junior Championships in Gangneung, South Korea. In September 2011, it was reported that their partnership had ended.[8]
Partnership with Testa
In October 2011, it was announced that Csölley had teamed up with Federica Testa.[9][10] Testa/Csölley made their international debut at the Bavarian Open in February 2012 and then competed at the World Championships in March in Nice, France. The following season, they finished 17th at the 2013 European Championships in Zagreb, Croatia, having placed 19th in the short dance and 16th in the free dance. At the 2013 World Championships in London, Ontario, Canada, the two placed 26th in the short dance and did not advance further.
In September 2013, Testa/Csölley competed at the final Olympic qualifying event, the Nebelhorn Trophy; they finished ninth and became the first alternates for the 2014 Winter Olympics. In January 2014, they placed 12th at the European Championships in Budapest, Hungary but the two missed the cut-off for the free dance in March at the World Championships in Saitama, Japan.
Testa/Csölley began the 2014–15 season with a bronze medal at the 2014 Ondrej Nepela Trophy, an ISU Challenger Series (CS) event held in early October. Later that month, making their Grand Prix debut, they placed fourth in the short dance and seventh overall at the 2014 Skate America. In November, they were awarded gold at two CS competitions, the Volvo Open Cup and Warsaw Cup. They finished eighth overall at the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm, Sweden.[11] In March, they placed 15th at the 2015 World Championships in Shanghai, having ranked 13th in the short and 15th in the free.
Testa/Csölley finished 8th (9th SD, 8th FD) at the 2016 European Championships in Bratislava. At the 2016 World Championships in Boston, they placed 12th in the short dance, 15th in the free, and 14th overall.
Testa/Csölley received invitations to the 2016 Skate Canada International and 2016 Trophée de France but withdrew from both Grand Prix events on 7 July 2016[12][13] due to Testa's decision to retire from competition.[14]
Partnership with Myslivečková
On 11 July 2016, Csölley announced that he would compete with Czech skater Lucie Myslivečková for Slovakia.[14] The two won gold at the Volvo Open Cup in November 2016.
